LifeMart™

I started this project from a small observation While watching Zootopia,
I noticed that fish are always treated as resources—even in a world where other animals are fully characterized, they remain just food.

That led me to ask:
What shapes our attitudes toward different forms of life?
What makes one life killable and another grievable?

To explore this, I looked at systems that already assign value to life like food or labor market, and insurance. And a key idea comes from Giorgio Agamben’s Homo Sacer: where he defines “bare life”—life that exists but isn’t fully recognized as valuable.He distinguishes between life that is protected and meaningful, and life that can be reduced, managed, or used.

And this apply to both animals and human.
